INDIANAPOLIS - Green Bay junior guard Rahmon Fletcher (Kansas City, Mo.) has been named the Horizon League Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Feb. 21, the league office announced Monday. It is Fletcher's third weekly award of the season (Dec. 6, Jan. 19), tying him with Butler's Gordon Hayward for the most in the league.

A native of Kansas City, Mo., Fletcher averaged 19.5 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals to lead the Phoenix to a pair of wins last week. He scored 17 points in a key Horizon League victory over Cleveland State (74-57) on Wednesday and then had 22 points and four assists in a 60-59 win over Indiana State in BracketBusters action on Saturday. His driving lay-up with 11 seconds left proved to be the game-winner against ISU. He scored each of the last seven points for the Phoenix, which had just three leads totaling less than two minutes during the entire game.

Fletcher, a preseason all-league selection, currently ranks third in the Horizon League in both scoring (16.3 ppg) and steals (1.8 spg). In conference games only, he tops the circuit with 16.7 points per game. His 22-point performance was his seventh 20-point game of the year.

Green Bay (19-10, 10-6 Horizon League) enters the final week of the regular season in third place in the league standings, just one game behind Wright State for second place and a bye to the league tournament semifinals. The Phoenix needs just one more win to post the program's first consecutive 20-win seasons since doing so three straight years from 1993-94 to 1995-96.
